[47] And if the Wine you drink, the Lip you press
by Omar KhayyamEnglish version by Edward FitzGerald
Original Language Persian/Farsi
And if the Wine you drink, the Lip you press,
End in the Nothing all Things end in -- Yes --
Then fancy while Thou art, Thou art but what
Thou shalt be -- Nothing -- Thou shalt not be less.
-- from The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, by Omar Khayyam / Translated by Edward FitzGerald |
